2ND HAND BLUES
It's been just a while
Since we said goodbye
But it feels like a lifetime
The seconds drag on
Every day that you're gone
Is empty with you out of my life
Chorus
I'm going back on the shelf - I been foolin' myself
A new lover ain't gonna make me feel new
Cos you took with you
The only love that I knew
And now we are through
I got the Second-Hand Blues
After you it's so hard
To make a fresh start
Don't even know who I am
I was with someone new
But it just wasn't you and
All I do is long for the love that we shared
Chorus
I can't close my heart and walk away
I know you made your position perfectly clear
But I can't stand to lose
Playin' by your rules
Everyone ends up being used
In the Second-Hand Blues
Blues...blues...blues...blues
Chorus
I'm going back on the shelf - No more foolin' myself
A new lover ain't gonna make me feel new
Cos you took with you
The only love I knew
And now we are through
I got the Second-Hand Blues
Second-Hand Blues...blues...etc.
